Hey readers! Thanks so much for following along in this series. I must say this material is not the easiest to tackle, but uber-important for a correct understanding of yourself, God and His Church. With that said, I'd like to get your feedback as we move forward. Please take a few minutes to answer any or all of these questions by posting a comment here. It will help a lot for making our future studies together even more rewarding.

When it comes to resources, no matter how much one has, people tend to have a spirit of scarcity or abundance. Scarcity says “we need to save for when we need it.” Abundance says “use it today, for tomorrow may never come.” Those with a spirit of scarcity long for safety. Those with a spirit of abundance long for adventure.

The eighth organizational tool that can be used mechanically or organically is LANGUAGE. How we understand and use language is important because it shapes the way we behave and believe. How? Words are metaphors. If someone says the word tree, the word itself is not what is being communicated. What is being communicated is the idea of a tree. And although our complete ideas of a tree when we hear the word may be in many ways different than another person’s, they are similar enough that we know what each other means by the word tree.
